Do I have to keep records of my pesticide applications?

Commercial/Public applicators must maintain records for each application...

Commercial/Public applicators must maintain records for each application. Private
applicators are required to maintain records only for all applications of restricted use
pesticides. Operations that employ agricultural workers or handlers covered by the Worker Protection Standard must keep records for all pesticide applications. All pesticide application
records must maintained for three years, completed within 24 hours of the pesticide application, contain the following information:

The date of application, and for those pesticides specifying a reentry period, the
hour of completion

The name and address of the application site (Commercial applicators must also
record the name and address of the customer if it differs from the application site.)

The brand name, EPA registration number, amount, and rate or dosage
of each pesticide used

Size and identification of the area treated for agronomic crop applications

The names and certification numbers of all persons involved with the application

In addition to the information listed above, agronomic crop application records
must also include restricted reentry interval and crop treated.
